So we've passed the denial stage and are approaching anger, then.
The fact is that most writing nowadays is simply atrocious. I welcome my fellow humans' writing assisted by their AI assistants, if for no other reason than to end the assault on my eyeballs as I'm forced to try to parse their incoherent gibberish.

I find that it can synthesize something coherent from whatever information it's fed with ~98% accuracy with the correct prompt. I used it to summarize disjointed, sometimes incoherent, interview transcripts this week and it did a fantastic job, gleaning the important bits and serializing them in paragraphs that were much more pleasant to read.
